OOM All Skate Skellig Dream Magic Weirdness -Part Seven
It turns out that 'guarding the lair' involves more than just staying in one place. Kreyu has a goal today of scouting outside their borders, looking for possible trouble.
Given that Skellig can't speak the local language, yet, they're not trying to pass as locals. Skellig is just wearing a kilt as they stalk through the forest.
The wilderness is truly wild here, only barely touched by humans. Beasts of all kinds live in these woods, wolves, deer, boars, birds, rabbits, and more.

She tilts her head to kiss him, soft and reassuring. "We will learn how to navigate this world together."
no subject
"I look forward to it," he says honestly once they break the kiss. "To have a partner is a strength I am most grateful for."
no subject
no subject
He presses his lips to hers, lingering.
"Between the three of you, each of you have strengths that balance the others."
no subject
"It might be good for me to see myself through your eyes." An owl calls somewhere out in the dark. The wild things that come out at night are waking up, going about their business.
no subject
He smirks slightly - he is not too concerned about being able to distract them from his presence, not when everyone will be focused on HER when she makes herself known. He is just a random traveler, passing through the capital.
no subject
"Should you need to address me while you are playing a part, they generally call me Great Lady, or Great Lady Kreyu."
no subject
A sidelong glance.
"I doubt I will be calling you that in our chambers," he adds - knowing full well that she would likely NOT want to be addressed as such when it just them together. "But should I need to speak to you in public, I will be sure to use the appropriate titles."
He presses a kiss to her hair. "I would not wish to make you uncomfortable."
no subject
"Thank you, love. I would not wish to be Great Lady to you, not in private." She grins. "No need for such formality between equals, between husband and wife. Especially when you've known me so well," she adds, teasing. 'Know' in the biblical sense of the word.
no subject
He sobers slightly, but his smile remains, faint as it is as he studies the stars above them. "Though if I am to make that argument, then I must also accept that I am worthy of the same from you, as we are equals," he adds. "Which I am...getting used to. That I am worthy of the same treatment."
Which is a big thing for him to say.
no subject
"Your life has been turned upside down and shaken beyond recognition," she tells him, kissing his cheek. "You are are adapting remarkably well, my love."
She looks up to the stars. "You are worthy of every good thing, every joy I can manage to give you."
no subject
"I know I am," he replies. "And I am starting to even believe it, also," he quips, twirling a lock of her hair in his finger. "You have given me more joy and instances of Light and Karma to fill my soul and my heart than I could even imagine possible. I am very grateful for that."
no subject
There's starlight reflecting in her eyes. "More than I could ever say."
They're probably protected enough to fall asleep out here, beneath the stars, wrapped up in one another's arms.
Or if his stamina has recovered, they could entertain one another under the stars in other ways...
no subject
His fingertips shift to her upper arm, stroking gently upwards to the edge of her chiton at her shoulder.
"I am finally feeling deeply connected to the lines," he mutters softly, relief in his tone. "I know it has been several days since we have been here, but it has taken some time for me to grab hold of them fully. I am much less...overwhelmed."
no subject
"I hope you will get the sense you had Before back also, with time."
no subject
Skellig smiles. "Which is a good thing. I do not mind helping, but it is nice to be able to just focus on you."
no subject
"I would be happy to help you, when you are pulled," she adds. "Though I admit I have very much enjoyed your being so focused on me." In so very many ways.
no subject
"Your help would be very beneficial," he says. "Healing pulls a great deal of energy from me, and having you at my side has made it easier to recover, the instances I have used it so far."
no subject
"Have I?" she seems quite pleased that she's been helpful. "Is it the Light in me, the Karma?"
no subject
"It is," he says. "Typically I am forced to recharge it by simply absorbing bits and pieces from those who are joyful, full of laughter, celebratory...youth works well, as they do not carry as much harsh realities as adults. I do not take much, just a hint now and again. But with you...I do not have to actively pull it, except when I am desperate. And your stores are plentiful...especially in regards to me."
no subject
She laughs, low. "How could they not be, when you make me feel so very good? You may drink from my Light as you please," she tells him.
"And a reason you enjoy the taste of me so, hm?" she teases. She's knows it's not just the Light that he wants when he has his mouth on her.
no subject
Even though it would be a truly desperate situation where he would pull any noticable (to her at least) amount of Karma from her reserves, he would still likely TRY to ask, first.
He leans in closer, presses his mouth to hers.
This kiss is definitely less chaste than the others they have shared so far tonight.
no subject
When they break for air, her voice is low, husky. "Do you desire me here, tonight, beneath the stars?" She chuckles. "It is perfectly fine if you are too tired for such things." And she means that, one hundred percent.
no subject
Skellig stretches his body out against the blankets beneath them, 'testing' himself a bit. His muscles feel fine, and he is so very comfortable with her body close to his.
"...could go either direction." He is not trying to be indecisive - just stating a fact. He presses his lips to her jawline. "But my desire...yes, I desire you my love, always."
no subject
She tilts her head back to let him explore. "Then if your energy allows, I would give myself to you tonight, beneath these stars."
